Whiners, go ahead, get it all out of your system now. There is a job to be done. A 'war' to wage. Those of you who can't pull yourself together, get out of the way and take your defeatist mentalities and words with you.
Damnit, I am pissed too. My heart hurts too, but I won't lay down and whine about it. I plan on working where I can and where I'm needed to take my country back for me, my children and my grandchild.
I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment.
I think everyone is going WAY overboard with the doom and gloom around here. This video is nothing more than a silly young person, probably stoned, probably drunk, most likely both, that is waving a communist flag probably because he/she is recently emancipated from his home and parents as a young adult and is doing this as an act of rebellion against his parents or some other past authority figure in his/her life.
They’re further attempting to be cool, trendy or whatever else. He or she is young, naive, silly...as they are supposed to be until trials of life straighten them out. I highly doubt this person even knows the significance of that symbol and the pain it has created in the past.
Yet everyone here is acting like Lenin just got off the train from Europe and is taking capitalists and Christians from their homes for summary executions. Talk about overreaction.
As for Obama, he will not institute communism or full blown socialism in America. He can’t. He got 52% of the vote, that’s it.
If he over-reaches too much like Clinton did in 93-94 with the assault weapons ban etc...the correction will come in 2010 in a snap with a follow-up in ‘12. He’s not an idiot and is probably very astute about that. I don’t know what exactly he will do and he very well may go extreme but our system in the US is set up to correct extremes, so relax.
He will raise taxes for sure but keep in mind that the top marginal tax rate was 90% under Eisenhower and 70% at the end of the 70s. The American people have tolerance of higher taxes on the rich when income inequality is at historic levels so expect that to come and stick for a while. A few other liberal policies will no doubt make it through and if they work, they will stay, if they fail, they will go. Elections fix these things.
